The dance film Amorous Letters has been exhibited as a participatory installation at various galleries and museums. Attendees are invited to sit at the writing table where writing materials are provided, and write a letter to someone they need to say something to. It's an invitation to reflect and process, and put feelings on paper. Participants can then deposit their letters in a 'share' or 'burn' bin. Letters to be shared get to be displayed as part of the exhibit, and the other pile combusts releasing the energy into the air. It's a healing practice that hundreds of people have taken part of to this day.
The installation has been exhibited at:
